Battle of Grand Turk : ウィキペディア英語版 | Battle of Grand Turk
The Battle of Grand Turk occurred on 9 March 1783 during the American War of Independence. France had seized the Turks and Caicos archipelago,〔Rellie / Hayne p. 11〕 islets of rich salt works, seizing Grand Turk in February 1783. The British responded by deploying 28-gun frigate HMS ''Albermarle'' with a force of more than 100 men under the command of Captain Horatio Nelson. Although the mission failed, the islands were shortly restored to Britain in the second Treaty of Paris that formally concluded the war. ==French capture== On 12 February 1783, a three-ship flotilla, headed by the 28-gun ''La Coquette'' under the command of the Marquis de Grasse-Briançon (nephew to Admiral Comte de Grasse) arrived at Grand Turk Island.〔 Disembarking about 400 men drawn from four regiments under the command of M. de Coujolles, the French took control of the island without resistance.
